Oddly enough, you are correct.
That has always been my theory. For every missile fired into Israel, Israel should fire one back. Tit for tat sounds like a silly child's game; at least until you consider the traumatized people of Sderot, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and other communities in Israel's south. Why should Jewish children have to run to shelter every time a "palestinian" in Gaza gets an itch that needs to be scratched?
Israel's leadership is responsible for -- and to -- the people of Israel. The people of Gaza are someone else's problem, get it?
Measure for measure. One missile fired from Gaza at Israel's civilian communities? One missile fired from Israel at Gaza's civilian communities (which, given Hamas' tendency to fire from civilian areas and cache weapons in civilian homes, schools and mosques, makes them perfectly legitimate military targets in any event).
What, Gaza doesn't have Iron Dome?
What a shame. Too bad. Perhaps that is something that Gaza's "leadership" should have taken into account BEFORE targeting Israeli civilians with merciless missile and mortar barrages.
One for one. Not two for one. Just one for one.
That will either take the starch out of the shorts of Hamas' leadership, as they kick back in Doha, living in the lap of luxury, or it will produce significant ruin in Gaza.
Like I said -- Israel's civilians are our concern. Whatever crawls around in Gaza pretending to walk upright is someone else's problem.
